Bill Prawn Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Is it possible to install a ceramic inset sink in a laminate worktop or does it need to be tiled or granite worktops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasport Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 not had dealings with ceramic worktops but cannot see why there would be a problem, they have to be cut anyway, so cutting the whole wouldn't be a problem for the fabricator, the depth should be standard. only presuming but would be amazed if you can't the only problem would be the cut edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasport Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Doh!!!! I meant laminate worktop:blush: probably why i haven't had dealings with ceramic then laminate no problem just use edging strip around cut edge, but would have to be a very accurate cut, use a router oh! and a round iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 If you are talking butler type sink then these are usually only fitted to stone, ceramic or solid wood work tops. It is incredibly hard to seal the edges of the hole in woodchip worktops. It will leak, it will absorb water and it will look crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Depends if he means "inset" as in it drops in a hole with a lip over, or like a Butler, it seals to the underside of the worktop. If the latter, I'd suggest lining the sides of the cut-out with a hardwood trim, maybe, but it would have to be fully bonded, and who knows aesthetically, maybe it would work with a beech effect worktop.

Rob Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 No problem then, it'll have a spongey seal plus you run a bead of sealant. If you wan't belt and braces, put some waterproof varnish all over the cut out faces of the laminate worktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
